How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

The treatment for stress-induced inflammation of growth plates primarily involves rest, as the growth plates cannot be strengthened through exercise. It is important to keep ‘all’ the other muscles active whilst the tendon attachments in the growth zone of the heel bone heal.

The exercises must not trigger the familiar pain under the heel during or after training.

Condition
